Another week of autopilot, the girls have almost all doubled in size in a week, still looking good. Now feeding 2.2 ec still doing 5L /48 hr and still on 24/0 light. Veg channel 55% bloom 25%. Will increase bloom once pistils appear and transition to bloom nutrients, until then will stay on their current feed schedule and potentially increasing to daily feeds instead of every other day. Will not be topping or fimming these ladies, and will resist the urge to defoliate as much as possible. By start of week 5 Scrog will be installed at 50cm, with a second layer planned for around 90cm. Plant sizing from start week 3 to start week 4 Pm1 16cm - 30cm Pm2 21cm - 40cm Gc1 16cm - 30cm Gc2 14cm - 27cm Gc3 22cm - 38cm Gc4 20cm - 37cm Edit - had a look, pistils are there so have started a transition to flowering and reducing super n+ cal/mag

They all basically look the same at this point. Plant 4 popped a day later so it’s a little smaller. At day 12 I sprinkled some great white shark around each plant. And added just 1 tsp of green harvest bone meal.

Well, this was a interesting first journey.... the buds finished drying today, 5 days drying, added pics and vids. Just curing to go.... ah nice buds :) Edit: i forgot to mention i went over the buds when i harvested them, and checked / removed any impurities, like gnats caught in the sticky bud.... picked em clean with tweezers... 👍 Edit: needed to air/dry out the buds abit more, and get some Boveda Humidipak for curing.... it's looking good... i'll update with some pics of trimmed, cured buds 😎 The buds turned out beautiful, pungent, pine, berry, citrusy, daytime, medical..... this has theoretical 1:1 - 21% THC, 19% CBD, so it's not going to give u a knockout high.... its medical grade 1:1 ....... side effects - happy, relaxed. haha :) I weighed it dry and came up with about 123.32g (4.35oz) ... i used abit of guesswork in the weight, not to concerned with weight, as to quality.... (that weight is with the test buds added in, +-15g.) .... you can guess the weight from the pics and vids, haha I really enjoyed growing this.... i found the website by looking up the seeds, decided to start a grow diary, it's my first grow, i made alot of mistakes and growdiaries really helped alot, joined a chat group with some other really good growers. Edit - Day 111 - added vid/pic, Been curing for a week, burp and roll em abit twice a day....... smell and taste nicer each day, 👍 Edit - Day 112 - added good vid of trimmed up test bud, beautiful ...... I hope You enjoyed the Diary..... Good Buds 😎

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 10 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno A 🌸 The Week We Stop Touching And Start Watching Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 And this week... there isn't a huge intervention to report. 😂 And honestly? That's exactly what I wanted. After everything we did during the previous weeks, the girls have reached the point where the best thing we can do is step back and let them work. Pickle Lemon Haze F1 Pheno A is looking absolutely beautiful. She's healthy. She's vigorous. She's flowering. And she's showing us the results of all the work we've put into her over the previous weeks. So this week, we're not changing the architecture. We're not performing another major defoliation. We're not moving branches around. We're not trying to force anything. We're watching. And we introduced one new element to the experiment: 💡 LumiFlora 150W Under-Canopy Lighting. 🌿 PHENO A – LETTING HER RECOVER AND DEVELOP Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is approximately 145 cm tall, and she's carrying a substantial flowering structure after her long vegetative period and aggressive stretch. If you've followed the previous update, you'll remember that this girl went through quite a transformation. The plants stretched far more than expected. The vertical space became limited. The LEDs were getting too close. We moved the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent. We raised the LEDs. We opened the canopy with a major defoliation. We installed a second SCROG. We added additional airflow underneath the canopy. And we adjusted the flowering nutrition. There was a lot happening. But now? It's time to see what all of that work actually accomplished. And looking at Pheno A... I'm very happy. 🌸 She's not asking for another big intervention. She's asking for time. So that's what we're giving her. ✂️ THE DEFOILATION IS NOW TELLING ITS STORY One of the things I'm watching particularly closely this week is the response to the major defoliation we performed previously. When we did it, the plants looked dramatically different. We removed a substantial amount of foliage because the canopy had become extremely dense. But the objective was never simply to remove leaves. The objective was to make the flowering structure more functional. Now we're beginning to see the result. The plant has opened up. The branches are easier to see. The flowering sites have more space around them. Air can move through the structure more freely. And Pheno A continues developing beautifully. That's the part I love about this stage. The work was done weeks ago. Now we're watching the plant respond to it. There's nothing to rush. There's nothing to force. We simply observe. 🌿 And that's actually a very important part of cultivation. Knowing when to act is important. Knowing when NOT to act can be just as important. 💡 INTRODUCING THE LUMIFLORA UNDER-CANOPY LIGHT There is one new addition this week. The **LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light** is now part of the setup. And with plants this large, the reason for introducing supplemental lighting underneath becomes pretty obvious. The main LEDs are providing the primary light from above. But when a plant reaches this size and develops this much structure, the lower portions of the canopy naturally receive less direct light. That's simply how a dense canopy works. So instead of constantly removing more foliage to chase light penetration, we're taking another approach. We're bringing supplemental light to the lower canopy. The LumiFlora is a **150W full-spectrum fixture**, with additional emphasis toward the red portion of the spectrum. We're positioning it underneath the canopy to provide additional usable light to areas that naturally receive less from the main fixtures. The idea isn't to replace the overhead lighting. It's to complement it. The main LEDs continue doing the heavy lifting from above. The LumiFlora gives the lower portion of the plant another source of light. And now... we watch. 💡🌱🌸 I'm particularly interested in seeing how the lower flowering sites respond over the coming weeks. That's the experiment now. 🕸️ THE SECOND SCROG IS STILL DOING ITS JOB The second SCROG that we installed last week is also staying exactly where it is. And that's another reason why we're not doing much this week. It's working. The first SCROG helped us organize the plant during the vegetative phase. The second SCROG is now helping support the flowering branches as they continue developing. With Pheno A being such a tall and vigorous plant, that additional support will become increasingly useful as the flowers gain weight. We're not trying to force her into another shape now. The architecture has already been established. We're simply giving that architecture the support it needs to finish. 🌬️ AIRFLOW – KEEPING THE CANOPY MOVING The airflow arrangement we created last week is also staying in place. We have airflow working above and below the canopy, with the additional Zamnesia clip fan underneath helping move air through the lower portion of the plant. That's especially useful now that we've introduced supplemental lighting underneath the canopy. More light underneath means we want the lower canopy to remain well ventilated as well. So we're keeping the air moving through multiple levels of the plant. Again... nothing dramatic. Nothing complicated. Just a stable environment and consistent airflow. And when everything is working? Don't fix what isn't broken. 😂💙 NUTRITION – KEEPING THE GIRL HAPPY The feeding program also remains consistent. We're continuing with the PLAGRON Hydro program: PLAGRON Hydro A — 2.2 ml/L PLAGRON Hydro B — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 PLAGRON Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L 🌸 PLAGRON Power Buds — 1 ml/L pH adjusted as required The plants are responding beautifully, so there is no reason to make unnecessary changes. They're drinking. They're flowering. They're developing. And they're showing us healthy growth. So we continue. This is another part of the experiment that I really enjoy. Sometimes the best feeding strategy is simply consistency and observation. Don't feed a number. Watch the plant. 💙 🌸 THIS WEEK IS ABOUT PATIENCE If I had to describe this week's update in one word, it would be: Patience. We've already done the big work. Now we're waiting to see the results. Pheno A has had time to recover from the defoliation. She's settling into the second SCROG. The airflow is established. The LEDs have been raised. The vertical space problem has been solved. The nutrition is stable. And now we've introduced supplemental under-canopy lighting. That's enough variables. We don't need to keep adding more. 😂 So this week we're simply watching her flower. 🌿 FROM BUILDING THE PLANT TO BUILDING THE FLOWERS For so many weeks, the story of Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A was about building the plant. Growing. Training. Stretching. Topping. SCROG. Branch development. Canopy management. Defoliation. But now? The structure is there. The framework is established. The support is in place. The environment is stable. And the story is changing. Now I want to see those flowering sites become the main character. 🌸 That's why we're not touching much. We're giving her the opportunity to turn all that structure into flowers. 🔬 SAME ROOM. SAME ENVIRONMENT. HER OWN STORY. One of the most interesting parts of Project Blue Tent is that all four plants are sharing the same ecosystem. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same environmental conditions. Same cultivation philosophy. And yet... each phenotype still tells her own story. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A has certainly given us one hell of a chapter. 😂💙 She's been vigorous. She's stretched aggressively. She's needed structural management. She's gone through a major defoliation. She even lost one branch during training. And despite all of that... she's still standing beautifully. That's her story. And now we're getting to see what she does with the space we've created for her. 🌸 CURRENT GROW CONDITIONS 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: approximately 145 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ☀️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 27°C 💧 Relative humidity: 61% ⚗️ pH: 6.01 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.49 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 24°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 24°C 🌬️ CO₂: approximately 666 ppm 💦 Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 8 L 💡 LumiFlora Under-Canopy: 150W Full Spectrum 💙 THE BEST THING WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW Looking at Pheno A this week, I keep coming back to the same thought: Leave her alone. 😂 Not literally, of course. We're still monitoring everything. We're still checking the environment. We're still watching the nutrition. We're still observing the flowers. We're still making sure the airflow is doing its job. But we're not trying to constantly manipulate the plant. We've done the structural work. Now we want the plant to show us the result. And that's a very satisfying stage to reach. 🔭 LOOKING AHEAD Over the next few weeks, I'll be watching several things closely. 🌸 Flower development throughout the canopy. 💡 The response of the lower flowering sites to the LumiFlora. 🌿 How Pheno A continues recovering from the heavy defoliation. 🕸️ How the second SCROG supports the developing branches. 🌬️ How the airflow performs through the mature canopy. How the plants continue responding to the current feeding program. But for now... no major changes. No unnecessary intervention. Just observation. Because Pheno A is looking happy. And when she's happy... I'm happy. 😂💙 🌸 FINAL THOUGHTS – NOW WE WATCH What a difference a few weeks can make. Not long ago, we were looking at this plant and wondering how we were going to fit her into the tent. The stretch was aggressive. The LEDs were getting too close. The canopy was becoming too dense. We had to move equipment. We had to raise the lights. We had to defoliate. We had to install another SCROG. We had to improve the airflow. And now? We're standing back and watching. That's the beauty of this stage. The work has already been done. The plant has been given the structure. The room has been given the space. The branches have been given support. The canopy has been opened. The environment is stable. And now we've added one more tool to the experiment: The LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light. It's not about throwing more and more equipment at the plants. It's about giving the lower canopy an additional source of light now that the plants have become so large. And then... we wait. Because sometimes the best thing a grower can do is recognize when the plant doesn't need another intervention. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A has already done her part. She's built the structure. She's survived the stretch. She's recovered from the defoliation. She's adapted to the new architecture. She's continued flowering. And now... she gets to finish. 💙🌸🌿 🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these beautiful Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics phenotype by phenotype. Thank you to PLAGRON for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these vigorous girls through their flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, curved scissors and clip fans that continue playing such important roles inside this project. Thank you to Mars Hydro for the irrigation and drainage system that keeps these girls consistently supplied and the ecosystem running smoothly. And a special thank you to **LumiFlora** for the 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light, which we're now introducing into the experiment to see how supplemental lower-canopy lighting performs during this stage of flowering. And of course, thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document the entire journey. Most importantly... thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. This week wasn't about doing more. It was about seeing what everything we've already done has created. We trained her. We supported her. We opened her up. We gave her room. We improved the airflow. We raised the lights. And now... we watch. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is healthy. She's vigorous. She's flowering beautifully. And she's got everything she needs to continue the journey. So this week, we're putting the tools down... taking a step back... and letting this beautiful girl do what she does best. Grow. Flower. Finish. 💙🌸🌿 Until next week... More flowers. More observation. Less interference. And hopefully... a whole lot more Pickle Lemon Haze F1 magic. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

This week went well. She finally got some good size to her and should be done stretching as the week ends. I did a slight lst on her and opened her up a little. She recieved a good soaking today amd shouldn't need topped off till mid to late next week. She isn't so much a problem child anymore.

wow! this girl also took the fish shit i gave her last week and turned it into huge buds! I am going to do this every year from now onwards. No visible PWM either, just like the others. Will go out to the pot patch mid week after this leftover weather from hurricane Fiona clears to see how they fared in the high humidity and low temps.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de vida de estas F.U.H. feminizadas de Seedstockers. Vamos al lío, las plantas se trasplantaron a macetas de 7 litros. El ph se controla en 6.5, la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 70%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 20h de luz, el foco está al 50% de potencia. Me gustaría estar más encima este cultivo pero la salud me está impidiendo un poco este 100% con el proyecto. Con suerte la semana que viene andaré mejor. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Performed a final defoliation along with the usual LST. Tried watering with only 1L to bring the watering down to every 2 days, but they started drooping a bit, so decided to stick with 2L every 3 days. Seems to work best. Not much else to report, growing steadily and buds starting to form.

Switched her to 12/12. I trimmed away some of the growth I deemed not worthy. She's got amazing roots and is already starting to grow a lot every day.

Wish the buds would have got a little bigger but feel like that’s particularly my fault for a short Veg but overall I am blow away by the outcome for all the seeds to just be random bag seeds! 2 of the plants are drying now 3rd one will be cut tomorrow & the other 2 got probably 2 more weeks! Will do a taste & smoke report and also give a weight as soon as they dry & cure a little bit but honestly couldn’t be happier with my first grow! Thanks for all the support & help along the way & happy growing friends!🤙🏼✌️🏼🌱 Update on 1st plant - dry weight 42g, still smelled pretty Earthy when I put it in the jar but the smell is definitely coming out now, extremely sticky & frosty buds❄️: 1:🏼🙏🏼 Update - plant 2 Dry weight was 40 grams! Extremely happy with the out come this is honestly some of the best bud I have ever smoked! Amazing to me this came from a random bag seed, it has a very citrusy flavor, smells & smokes amazing! Honestly a 10/10 in my book, wish I could knew what strain this was so I could grow it again!😫❄️✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 3 Dry weight 34g, smells & look phenomenal, the buds are much smaller & had the smallest yield so far but this is by far the best smelling so far! Will have a smoke update on this one soon, stay tuned friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 5 dry weight was 52g it dried a little faster than plant 4 which I will probably jar tomorrow! Will update again with a smoke report soon, this plant brought my total so far up to 168 off 4 plants👍🏼 Thanks for following friends & happy growing! Also the butter I made from the trim was 🔥🔥

Nightmare having 2 plants maturing nearly 3 weeks faster than the other 2
